Head bolt o-ring question?

[Guest]

I'm getting ready to change the O-rings on the two center head bolts on my 1983 1100 E, to stop the oil leak on the front motor. What do u use on the o-rings to lubricate so they don't walk of the bolts? And would you retourque all the head bolts or just the center two? Has anybody had any issues with head gasket leaks after loosening the head bolts? Thanks for any help.

So has anybody done the O-rings on the front center head bolts on a 83 1100 e, i learned about it here, but I cant seem to find it with my searches. Need to know what to lubricate the o-rings with and if you have any tips to doing it . Thanks

I just used a very light coating of oil. Its a very simple repair. I would check the rest of the head bolts for proper torque. I am not even sure if any lubricant is need for the installation of the new O-rings.

Het I'm doin my o-ring fix today ,do u have to retorque bolts after it warms up?and should I retorque all the head bolts?

I would check all the all the head bolts for proper torque. I dont think you need the engine warm. I just installed the new O-Rings and then checked the Torque on all the head bolts. Checked the valve clearance and buttoned it up.

Have fun.
